Artist Statement

Since ancient times, people have created folktales, legends, and myths, deepening their understanding of the world around them through these stories.

Confronted with the unknown, they felt both awe and wonder. They recognized the sacred, revered it, and, through the creation of stories, gradually formed images of that which lay beyond their understanding.

​

Stories are a means of deepening our understanding of what remains unknown. They are also a process through which individuals, communities, and societies establish the foundations upon which they define themselves.

Through stories, we are able to intuitively sense why we exist here and now.

In this sense, it may be said that the world begins with stories.​​
